Item Performance study of high frequency link AC-AC converter(IEEE Computer Society, 2014) Ansal, V.; Parthiban, P.; Ravikumar, K.In this paper operation performance of an high-frequency (HF) link ac/ac converter is demonstrated using computer aided simulation package PSCAD/EMTDC. The converter consists of input filter, input matrix converter, HF transformer, and output matrix converter. The proposed configuration permits flexibility in the choice of voltage levels and frequency in the system without the penalty of bulky magnetic components. The proposed approach achieve high voltage transfer ratio, HF galvanic isolation of the input source from the output utility, higher power density by introducing a HF transformer in between the two stages of the converter. It is capable of having bidirectional power flow, achieve lower harmonic distortion on both input and output sides with proper filter design and controllable input displacement power factor. It also provides fast response, high efficiency, and free from acoustic noise. Comprehensive results are presented to assess the performance of the converter. Several features like voltage sag compensation, instantaneous voltage regulation, and power factor correction can be combined to this converter. This kind of converter laid the base for regulated ac power supplies and electronic transformers. © 2014 IEEE.Item Realization of an arduino-mega based space vector modulation controller(IEEE Computer Society help@computer.org, 2016) Ansal, V.; Remya, V.K.; Antony, S.This paper discusses the programming and the use of Arduino Mega, an open hardware microcontroller board in generating the Space Vector Modulation (SVM) for three phase inverters. The design can be used for interfacing renewable energy sources such as solar cells and fuel cells to ac utility grid directly. The low cost and easily programmable Arduino makes the renewable energy power system more economical and simple. The architecture and functions of Arduino Mega is explained briefly. The output results are verified using the simulation carried out in MATLAB Simulink. © 2016 IEEE.Item Transformerless Dynamic Voltage Restorer for voltage sag mitigation(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2016) Ansal, V.; Ravikumar, K.; Parthiban, P.Dynamic Voltage Restorers are identified to be cost effective solution for protecting sensitive loads from voltage related power quality issues. The extension of cost reduction and efficiency can be improved by eliminating the injection transformer. This paper discusses a transformer-less dynamic voltage restorer based on three-single phase Voltage Source Inverters(VSI). Since the DVR does not have an injection transformer, it has lower loss, lower cost and it is less bulky. The DVR control is implemented using Synchronous Reference Frame(SRF)theory. Estimation of the reference load voltage is carried out using unit vectors. The simulation results carried out in MATLAB shows the effectiveness of the DVR in compensating the voltage sag. © 2016 IEEE.Item A Novel Three-Phase Low Voltage (LV) Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) Employing Semi-Z-Source Inverter(IEEE Computer Society help@computer.org, 2018) Remya, V.K.; Parthiban, P.; Nandakumar, A.; Ansal, V.This paper presents the design and control of a Low Voltage (LV) Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) for a three-phase power system. The DVR is designed to protect a three-phase load of 3 kVA from the voltage sags and swells ranging up to 0.5 p.u of the supply voltage. The proposed DVR utilizes semi-Z-source (SZS) inverter as the power converter in each phase of the DVR. The SZS inverter offers many advantages such as reduction in cost, size, weight, elimination of filter etc. compared to the conventional Full Bridge (FB) inverter based DVR. Each phase is controlled independently which offers mitigation of both symmetrical and asymmetrical sags. The proposed DVR employs the modified feedback control technique. The simulation results from MATLAB/Simulink environment verify the efficacy of the proposed DVR topology. The proposed DVR topology is suitable for mitigation of sags and swells initiating at any point-on-wave. © 2018 IEEE.Item Buck-Boost Inverter Functionality of Two-Phase Semi-Z-Source Converter(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Remya, V.K.; Parthiban, P.; Ansal, V.; Nandakumar, A.A two-phase semi-Z-source (SZS) inverter capable of generating sinusoidal output voltage up to two times the input voltage is discussed in this paper. The two-phase SZS inverter consists of four switches and two Z-source networks. The buck-boost functionality achieved without the presence of shoot-through phenomenon is the major advantage of the two-phase SZS inverter. In the two-phase SZS inverter structure, there are two blocks of single-phase SZS circuits. Each single-phase SZS inverter block consists of two switches and one Z-source network. In each SZS inverter block, the switches are operated complementarily. The voltage gain of the single-phase SZS circuit block is non-linear in nature and a Modified Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (MSPWM) technique is employed for generating the switching pulses. The MATLAB/Simulink results are presented to demonstrate the characteristics of the two-phase SZS inverter. © 2018 IEEE.Item Remote Triggered Laboratory for Boost Converter Using LabVIEW(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2021) Ansal, V.; Remya, V.K.; Jagadeesh, V.K.; Krishnan, K.This paper aims to provide remote access to laboratories in power electronics to all levels from under graduate to research. The platform is focused on learning aspect as much as performing the experiments. Remote triggered power electronics laboratory for boost converter experiments has been developed using National Instruments(NI) data acquisition device myRIO and LabVIEW software package which has an extensive support for interfacing devices and instruments. LabVIEW software is used to access the data using myRIO which has both the processor and Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). Through Graphical User Interface (GUI), a user in remote location is able to vary parameter pertaining to boost converter circuit which is transmitted to laboratory PC that has NI LabVIEW installed in it. The input is further fed to circuit, and then, output is fed back to LabVIEW through NI myRIO which ultimately is returned to user’s PC using web-publishing tool and can be viewed through GUI. Remote Triggered (RT) power electronics laboratories can be effectively used to give laboratory demonstrations to large number of learners. © 2021, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.Item Design, and Hardware Implementation of Semi-Z-Source Inverter based Transformer-less Dynamic Voltage Restorer(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2023) Remya, V.K.; Parthiban, P.; Nandakumar, A.; Ansal, V.; Rajkumar, K.In this paper, design, and implementation of a semi-Z-source inverter based topology of Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is discussed. The topology utilizes the semi-Z-source buck inverter to synthesize the missing voltage for load compensation during power quality (PQ) events. The absence of filter components, elimination of shoot-through phenomenon, reduced size and cost of the SZS inverter are some of the attributes of the proposed DVR topology. The design and the hardware implementation of the laboratory prototype of the semi-Z-source inverter based DVR is elaborated in this paper. © 2023 IEEE.
